Abstract: A roof vent is provided that exhibits simplicity of construction, ease of installation, durability, and effectiveness. The roof vent may be made of metal. In one embodiment, components of the roof vent include Z-shaped support members, a vent cap that attaches to the Z-shaped members, and end caps that attach to the Z-shaped members. In one embodiment, the vent cap attaches to and extends between first and second Z-shaped members, the vent cap having edge flanges that extends inwardly at an acute angle relative to the vent cap and project downwardly so as to deflect downward wind and rain. In another embodiment, at least one adjustable closure is coupled to a Z-shaped member for reducing venting action and protecting against penetration of wind, rain, etc.
